« What's the difference between Thailand and Bali?
Friends, Bali and Thailand are like two different worlds, or even universes. They simply can't be compared! :) Thailand is like an old friend—always comfortable, cozy, ready to feed you well, help you sleep, and softly hum you a lullaby. Everything in Thailand is clear, open, and convenient. You always feel at home here. You come back as a long-awaited guest; they’re happy to see you, offer you shelter, and serve delicious food. Thailand wraps you in warm sunlight, purring "sabai-sabai, little one." It pampers you with comfort, feeds you enchanting coconut soups, and its markets are bursting with greenery and fruits.
And what about Bali? Here, everything is absolutely mysterious and veiled; spirits walk the roads, statues come alive at night, priests fall into trances and shout in strange voices, and locals are in prayer for much of their lives. Ceremonies take place everywhere, all the time. Everyone follows the lunar cycle, going for cleansing rituals—even tourists. There's something unseen but evidently tangible that captivates anyone who stays here longer than a couple of months.
Nature here is indescribably beautiful—rice fields, jungles, lakes, volcanoes, and the ocean. The Balinese people are wonderful; I can’t tell if they are from this planet, but they fulfill their purpose in life exceptionally well, moving forward clearly and purposefully. Magic fills the air. It’s an extraordinary, fairy-tale island.
But it’s not always easy to see this right away; on the contrary, the island often pushes you away, placing you in strange spots where it’s hard to grasp Bali's depth, seemingly filtering out the overwhelming influx of outsiders from its lands. Yes, in the first few months, you’re just a tourist, and the local order doesn’t concern you; even the spirits merely observe you from the sidelines, gently brushing against you with their whispering wings, leaving you puzzled, “What just happened?”
Some people end up staying here, unable to break free, as they sense an incredible depth that pulls them in more, making them want to feel and understand it even more... »
Wake up and head out in an unknown direction, it’s worth it! 😍
And especially when the beauty around you is stunning! 😍💖💖💖
Enjoy! 💕 »
For example, February is the rainy season here, which brings a lot of debris to the beaches. But! Not in the Kuta area 😉 We stayed there for the first two days, and the beach was pristine, with gorgeous sands and azure waters! Silence, relaxation. There are some downsides: it's not very convenient for those with little ones, as the steep hills leading to the beach can be quite the hike! And often, there isn’t much to do.
If you want some entertainment, it's better to head to Seminyak! It’s full of activities like driving around in cars and scooters, cafes, shops, and nightlife! Life is lively 🔥🔥🔥 It’s suitable for families, but not in February, as the beaches can get messy this time of year.
Today we went to Nusa Penida Island - what a stunning place! If you visit here, definitely bring some beautiful outfits for amazing photos!
Tomorrow in Ubud, there’s tranquility and greenery 🌍 with chickens running around 😂 Or in Nusa Dua - a fabulous tourist area! Can’t wait to explore!
I’ll write more later about my time here ;) Bali is different, it’s beautiful! I wish everyone could experience it - let’s hope it happens!
Which area are you choosing to visit? 😉 »
